Rated 4 out of 5 by 34LLcoolG Fab top, not great quality
I really love the styling of this top, however it's quite thin and the back of the embroidery is dreadfully itchy. You have to wear a tshirt underneath - not great as we pregnant ladies tend to 'glow' a lot! I bought it on sale but would not pay full price. No different quality to a £10 in primark to be completely honest.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Pinto Lovely but has started to bobble straight away
This sweatshirt is a fantastic design and is keeping me warm through winter. However, the material started to bobble after one wear, especially on the tummy area since it rubs against coats.
M&S - for £30 it should be better quality!

Rated 1 out of 5 by REHxx Terrible
I loved the look of this top but after wearing once the whole top went bally and really old and worn and scruffy looking. I returned it and got an exchange. However, after about 3 wears the same thing happened. Needless to say the only further wear this top got was when we were moving house and when cleaning the bathrooms and then was chucked in the bin! Do not buy this jumper!! Really disappointed M&S!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Becka45 Beautiful but poor quality
This is a gorgeous jumper and fits really well but after 4 occasions of wearing this jumper it's not fit to be worn in public... Anything that causes slight friction results in significant bobbling which alters the colour of the jumper leaving it very noticeable!

Rated 3 out of 5 by JJ77 Very handy top, but bobbling too soon
This is a very useful top to have in my pregnancy wardrobe. However, I've only worn it twice and it's bobbling under the arms already, so I'm not convinced it's going to last the distance, which is really disappointing. I expected more of M&S really.
